Hi All,

I'm looking to implement bacula using (for now) a pair of zpool
volumes on a solaris server for the backing storage.  From time to
time, I need to re-balance the distribution of backup storage between
the pools.

To do this, I'd like to back each client up into it's own filesystem
in the pool.  I'll have a separate device per client in this
configuation, I think.

Am I correct that each device must have a unique media type in order
to allow me to move the filesystem from one zpool to the other, update
the archive device parameter and have it be usable?

Would this also allow moving the storage to an alternate host later as
long as I updated the archive device and job definition?

Thanks
-Ben
